I am not a Sikh but a Hindu. To answer your question, Sikhs wear turbans as part of their religious culture. They generally wear a turban when they are going in public places or in front of others. At home, they just put a small cloth around the head , just to cover it. They may not be embarrassed to remove it, but they avoid it in public. There are modern Sikhs who have cut their hair permanently. But it again depends on the thought pattern and culture of a Sikh family.

There are many reasons an East Indian woman has a ‘red dot’ on her forehead, especially those following ‘ Hindu ‘ culture.

1) An unmarried Hindu girl puts a red dot (Bindi) as part of her makeup. Typically on Indian dress and ‘saree,’ it looks beautiful.
2) Many of them put ‘Tikka’ (red dot) on when they do their ‘Puja’ (prayers) as a custom.
3) Married Indian women wear a ‘red dot’ as an indication they are married.

Many times this red dot is made of ‘processed termeric’ called ‘kunkum.’ But nowadays, many artificial Bindi are available. Also, the ‘dot’ is often replaced by different shapes that suit the choice of the wearer.
